Tachypsychia 13 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Yeah I'm curious to see who calls it racist. Like which ethnic group. Link to post Share on other sites
Alexander L 80 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 the ones with blonde wig and rubber noses. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Although I personally don't find it offensive, it's the same as a white man putting on an Afro wig, wide rubber nose and fat rubber lips....I think that we all accept that to be unacceptable Link to post Share on other sites
Alexander L 80 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 why's it unacceptable? Link to post Share on other sites

Chriselle 158 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Hey....ya....it's whitey's (me) turn to be offended... Personally, I'm outraged.... .... Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 why's it unacceptable? Because black people find the parody offensive. Would you find it ok to see a white guy dressed up like a slant-eyed Asian in thick glasses with buck teeth? Blacking up golliwog style? Link to post Share on other sites
Go Native 70 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Would you find it ok to see a white guy dressed up like a slant-eyed Asian in thick glasses with buck teeth? Like this? Link to post Share on other sites

Would you find it ok to see a white guy dressed up like a slant-eyed Asian in thick glasses with buck teeth? Blacking up golliwog style? absolutely OK. What has that got to do with the ANA ad? Perhaps the only racist aspect there was: "typical Japanese reaction" Link to post Share on other sites

Tachypsychia 13 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Japan’s All Nippon Airways (ANA) was forced to backtrack out of a controversy this week after the carrier’s new television commercial, featuring a Japanese actor that donned a blond wig and large nose to portray a Caucasian, was deemed offensive by some viewers.According to an ANA representative, the commercial featuring a character in “whiteface” was meant to encourage Japanese customers to embrace international travel, not to stereotype Westerners. “Our intention was not to offend,” said ANA spokesman Ryosei Nomura, according to the Associated Press. The carrier has since agreed to review several “opinions” before launching a revised advertisement. Link to post Share on other sites
NoFakie 45 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Abe off to Yasukuni, killing dolphins, and now this. A fine start to the year. My youngest is almost 18 months now but she's still blonde. She is of course Japanese. Link to post Share on other sites

NoFakie 45 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Referring to them as Japanese confuses people far more. Not just Japanese people as well. Link to post Share on other sites

NoFakie 45 Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 This is the ad they put up in the trains, which has also been pulled. The flatcap fella on the bottom row is "London". No noses in this one, for some reason. Link to post Share on other sites
